A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE LOCATION OF A LOW LEVEL
RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL SITE WITHIN THE AREA
IDENTIFIED AS THE CENTRAL FOOTHILLS IN THE CANDIDATE
AREA EVALUATION REPORT PREPARED BY THE COLORADO
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Pueblo has
reviewed the Candidate Area Evaluation Report, Low Level
Radioactive Waste Disposal Colorado, prepared by the Colorado
Geological Survey, Department of Natural Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Pueblo believes
that the Central Foothills area identified within the report is
not an appropriate location for a low level radioactive waste
disposal site and that the study and report does not address the
needed long -term isolation of wastes from areas of concentrated
human habitation or future growth within the Pueblo - Colorado
Springs growth corridor; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO, COLORADO,
THAT:
The City Council of the City of Pueblo opposes the
location of a low level radioactive waste disposal site within
the area identified as the Central Foothills in the Candidate
Area Evaluation Report prepared by the Colorado Geological
Survey, Department of Natural Resources, and requests that such
area be excluded from any further study or evaluation as a
potential area for a low level radioactive waste disposal site.
